29% of people who are not objectively poor feel subjectively poor?
I said that amount is livable in China. That study is about people’s feelings. Hardly related
Not to mention I work in Silicon Valley as a software engineer and it’s literally common for people here to be making 200-400k to complain about being poor and not saving much all the time
How many people living in the Midwest or the south on a 20k salary do you think would feel subjectively poor?
Conveniently ignoring the fact a $3.3k salary isn’t livable anywhere in America.
Spoiled middle class westerners complaining about being poor is totally different LMAO. Americans will complain about being poor when living in a decent house in suburb, being poor is seen totally different in 2nd and 3rd world countries that are, yknow, struggling much moreso.
Lol. $845/yr is the number the CCP conveniently made up to make poverty rates seem lower than they actually are. If the poverty line was the same as comparable countries to China, it would be almost double ($5.50 a day instead of $2.30, or adjusted for PPP $8k/yr instead of $3.3k).
Despite the fact that China is classified as an upper-middle income country, China’s official poverty line is only a little higher than the universal global poverty line. Applying the World Bank upper-middle income poverty line of $5.50/day to China would mean almost a quarter of Chinese still live in poverty.
Despite China “still being poor” or whatever, the fact of the matter is that povery line go sharply down so China is becoming more gooder by the year. While in the country whose policies you support, poverty line stay same, not become gooder.

Well that’s why the American poverty line has been calculated to be 14500
14500 is the poverty line in America and 845 is the poverty line in China
PPP isn’t a perfect comparison between every single combination of all 200 countries in the entire world
But the poverty line is specifically calculated for every single country

13% = 25%? (from a very biased source too btw)

Ok but that’s for 2019, the source I listed has info for 2021.
Halved, in two years? Be realistic. Some random ass NPR article?
If we’re talking about validity of sources, NPR is a more trustworthy source than a shady investment site. You’re not paying attention.
